I gathered up some balls to ask Milagres (formerly The Secret Life of Sofia) what the lyrics for Nanda Devi were. Here's their reply:
"Janie,
Thanks very much for the nice note. Glad to hear you like Nanda Devi. Here are Kyle's lyrics for the song:
Nanda Devi
When you were born your eyes were closed
And you were indistinguishable from the other babies.
We argued over names
And how could I've known you were fated to lie down
on Nanda Devi?
When you were old enough I began to teach you
Which greenery you could eat to survive alone out
In the wilderness, like me. The earth is the grandest
Of living things, and with it we are linked inextricably.
Nanda Devi.
No one understood why I didn't feel at fault
But I'd only introduced you to the glory of mountaintops.
When the avalanche swept me off the face of a friend
With someone's little kids we were like specks of dust
In nature's beautiful broom,
Nanda Devi,
rejoining the river.
-Eric"
No way! I think this is kinda cool. I just posted the lyrics up with my ronmascara account. It's risky that both accounts run under the same password, but okay. I went to Leah's today. I loved it. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable at her place. I mean, it's so over-the-place. But then I got used to it and really loved it. I loved how there was a piano and a plaid couch and a very modern lamp and asian dishes. Things were so mixy-matchy and I really liked that somehow. After some time, it was like it all started settling down. We worked on the couple and Andrea got there late with ironed hair. Haha. We listened to music and her brother kept on popping into our conversations. His name's Thomas and I thought that was pretty funny. Even though he's supposed to be 18, he doesn't look it. I like his music style, though. The Killers, Coldplay, Linkin Park, the general stuff. We listened to Charlie by RHCP and Tulips in both versions.
That song makes me every single time.
Even if I'm thinking about a different boy everytime I listen to it. That song is the most amazing thing ever and I don't know why but if I could marry it, I would. It just never, ever gets old. I've liked it since seventh grade and it hasn't faded whatsoever.
The magic's still there.
There's been something with me and magic lately.
Not HP magic. More, like, fairy magic.
Mmm An Old Friend of the Christies by Oceansize is so good. Instrumental but it's such a well told story.
Mybe it's that it has so many different hidden things that I find something new everytime I listen to it. We had pizza at Leah's. I honestly was prepared for something more exciting and weird, like beetle juice. lol. I read somewhere that Asians have that. But it's not actual beetle juice, it's just called that. Or Wontons or something goddamn Asian!
I teased Leah a lot about the Miu-Miu thing. And I told them kinda a big secret about a crush I have. Not really a crush, it's just..
He thinks I'm pretty and we like the same music and when we say hi, it feels lusty. Haha!
Ah maybe I'm just thinking things.
I have to finish a paper for Cabrera, due tomorrow. Seeya
